ELMACT Seminar

GF AgieCharmilles, in conjunction with The University of Manchester and a number of technical partners (Microsystems UK, Rolls-Royce, Rainford Precision Machines, Teer Coatings and WLR Prototype Engineers), will be hosting a half-day ELMACT dissemination seminar on micro-machining at its Coventry facility on 9 September 2010 (10am - 2pm).

ELMACT, which stands for 'Extended Life Micro-tooling by Advanced Coating Technology', follows the completion of a 3 year research project, jointly funded by The Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and The Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSR), into micro-machining and, specifically, on the use of high-precision micro-tooling and different cutting tool coatings for micro-milling and micro-drilling applications. The ELMACT event, aimed at precision manufacturers currently involved (or who wish to get involved) in micro-machining, provides a unique opportunity for manufacturers to find out more about the research findings, and to catch up with the latest developments and thinking from industry experts. The ELMACT event at GF AgieCharmilles is free, and further information, including more on the structure and content of the Seminar; booking and registration details, and directions etc., can be found at the link below.
